Trapped by joint pain
> Many people fear losing their mobility and independence, but a solution may be at hand
ALEX is determined to remain active even during his middle age. Now 58, he still enjoys the outdoors, and has a regular group with whom he hikes with.
Over the past year however, Alex has been having joint pain and stiffness in his knee, which has been staying on for longer and longer.
Over time, Alex discovers to his dismay that his knee pain has worsened. He has already tried glucosamine supplements, but the joint pain is getting more difficult to bear.
He has had to resort to painkiller medications on and off just to derive some relief, but he does not want to rely on them in the long run because of their side effects to his tummy.
The type of joint pain which Alex is experiencing is a hallmark symptom of a degenerative joint disease called osteoarthritis (OA).
Although joint problems commonly affect weight-bearing joints such as the knees, pain and stiffness can also occur at the joints of the fingers, shoulders, hips and spine.
As the problem worsens, patients may have to depend on other people to assist them in carrying out even simple tasks.
This loss of independence has led many into depression, which deepens the loneliness of being imprisoned by arthritis.
The most widely used painkiller medications to manage joint pain comprise non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib, and etoricoxib.
While NSAIDS help relieve joint pain, studies now show that these painkillers can cause the joints to break down faster.
Not only that, patients who take NSAIDs have been found to require joint replacement surgery sooner than those who do not take them.
These findings are on top of the concerns of taking NSAIDs in the long-term, which include a higher risk of heart attacks, strokes and bleeding, especially among individuals who have diabetes, gastritis or cardiovascular diseases.
But if patients cannot rely on NSAID painkillers to relieve their joint pain, what can they rely on?
Fortunately, the answer may be provided by nature, in the form of Lanconone. This proprietary formula is made from seven authenticated Ayurvedic herbs, culminated from decades of research.
The seven herbs are Commiphora mukul (Indian bdellium-tree), Boswellia serrata (Indian olibanum), Withania somnifera (Indian ginseng), Oroxylum indicum (Indian trumpet tree), Smilax china (China root), Pluchea lanceolate (Rasna), and Zingiber officinale (ginger).
Results of clinical studies published in the journal Trials in 2016 showed that Lanconone was proven to work as quickly and effectively as painkillers in relieving joint pain, minus the side effects.
Beyond pain relief, Lanconone was also shown to support joint recovery, as patients in the study regained their mobility over a course of three months.
Taken at a dose of two capsules twice a day after food, Lanconone provides joint pain relief, besides supporting the recovery of the joints.
Alex was introduced to Lanconone by a pharmacist.
Wanting to recover in time for a planned hike to Mount Kinabalu, he decides to give the herbal remedy a try, taking two capsules of Lanconone twice a day after breakfast and dinner.
A few days later, Alex is surprised to notice that his knee stiffness has significantly lessened.
Over the weeks that followed, he discovers that he can walk further than before without those familiar symptoms returning.
Now three months later, Alex is ready to climb Mount Kinabalu and will finally get to watch the sunrise from the top of the mountain.
